Title: Yager Development Yager Game Data Block Denial Of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Yager Development Yager Game is a futuristic air combat game. It is available for the Microsoft Windows and XBox platforms.
A remote denial of service vulnerability affects the Yager Development Yager Game. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly handle exceptional network data.
The problem presents itself as the game fails to handle incomplete data transmissions. Apparently the game is synchronized with the network data flow; if the game is awaiting network data, it will freeze until all data is received. If an incomplete data block is sent to an affected client, the current game will freeze indefinitely.
It has also been reported that this issue can also be triggered if data sent is not valid, although no details were provided.
It should be noted that this issue can only be leveraged against users that are currently connected through a multiplayer game.
An attacker may leverage this issue to freeze a multiplayer game that is currently in progress; players will be forced to end their game to return to normal functionality.
Affected Products:
- Yager Development Yager Game 5.0.0
- Yager Development Yager Game 5.20.0
- Yager Development Yager Game 5.24.0
